While Li Qinghuang and Lu Linger were talking, Sima Lan saw them from afar.
Especially when he saw the little Lu Linger holding Li Qinghuang's hand and talking affectionately, Sima Lan became even more confused.
"Who is this ugly girl?"
"Why are the Lu Fan brothers and sisters so nice to her?"
Although he thought so in his heart, Sima Lan did not go over to ask.
At noon.
Sima Lan went to find Huang Bairong.
At this moment, Huang Bairong happened to be with Sima Hong, chatting and laughing.
Seeing Sima Lan coming, Huang Bairong hurriedly called out respectfully: "Miss Sima!"
Sima Hong, whose injuries had recovered somewhat, also asked curiously when he saw his elder sister, "Sister, why are you here?"
"I'm here to ask Manager Huang something." Sima Lan walked over and said.
Sima Hong was stunned and looked at Huang Bairong.
Huang Bairong was also quite curious, so he asked, "I wonder what Miss Sima wants to ask me?"
"Shopkeeper Huang, I'd like to ask, who is that girl with a scar on her face who follows Lu Fan?" Sima Lan asked.
Forehead?
"Are you talking about the ugly girl?"
"Yes, that woman with the scar on her face."
Hearing that Sima Lan was questioning Li Qinghuang, Huang Bairong said, "To be honest, Miss Sima, I don't know much about that ugly girl! I only know that the young nobleman ordered that the ugly girl stay by his side no matter what! And she can't leave even a step!"
Sima Lan frowned tightly when she heard this.
"Can't leave even a step? Why?"
Huang Bairong shook his head. "To be honest, I don't know anything about this matter! If Miss Sima wants to know, it would be best to ask Young Noble Lady Lu."
Seeing that Huang Bairong didn't know, Sima Lan could only say, "Okay!"
After saying that, Sima Lan left.
Seeing his elder sister walking out of the courtyard, Sima Hong quickly followed.
"elder sister!"
Sima Hong quickly caught up.
"What's wrong?"
Sima Lan stopped.
"Sister, why are you suddenly asking about the girl with a scar on her face?" Sima Hong asked in confusion.
Sima Lan pondered for a moment before saying, "Because every time I see that girl, I feel weird."
"Strange?" Sima Hong was curious.
"Yes! When I first saw her, if it weren't for her frighteningly ugly face, I would have thought she was a royal relative!"
Sima Lan finally spoke out what was on his mind.
It is said that women have a stronger sixth sense, and Sima Lan in front of him is no exception.
Sima Hong, on the other hand, was a heartless person. After hearing what his elder sister said, he laughed and said, "Sister, are you joking? How could she... possibly be a royal relative?"
Sima Lan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Maybe I'm overthinking it!"
…
City God Temple, in a cave.
Lu Fan has been refining the Demon Transformation Pill for almost two days.
This Demon Transformation Pill is just the most basic pill, and it doesn't even have a high pill grade.
But for Lu Fan, who was refining it for the first time, it still took him two full days.
In the cave filled with pungent poisonous gas, Lu Fan was sitting cross-legged, and the spiritual flame in his palm was burning the alchemy furnace in front of him.
After two days of refining, Lu Fan's spiritual power was almost exhausted.
but.
Fortunately, Lu Fan had the magic gourd water and tonic pills to replenish his body.
Once the body's spiritual power could no longer hold, Lu Fan would quickly drink gourd water and then take tonic pills.
Finally.
After another quarter of an hour, a sizzling sound came from the dark alchemy furnace.
"Are we finally close to success?"
Lu Fan's eyes flashed with brilliance and he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Ning Dan!
Lu Fan quickly formed an alchemy formula with his hands, and then the sticky substance in the alchemy furnace that had been refined into black medicinal liquid began to condense rapidly.
After a while, a pill the size of a glass ball was actually condensed!
"ha!"
"Did it finally succeed?"
Looking at the black pill that appeared in the alchemy furnace, Lu Fan couldn't help but shout excitedly.
Then he quickly withdrew his hands and looked at the black pill in the alchemy furnace with joy.
The pill is not like a normal pill. Not only does it not emit any medicinal fragrance, but it is also harsh and unpleasant.
"This poison pill is indeed different from normal pills!" Lu Fan said depressedly.
But there's no way.
Among the cultivators' souls devoured by the old turtle, there was only this poison master!
So Lu Fan doesn't care so much now.
Holding the pill, Lu Fan looked it up and down.
According to the records in the "Compendium of Ten Thousand Poisons", the Demon-Transforming Pill is purple-brown in color, with a smooth surface, and is the size of a little finger.
And this pill that I made...seems to be completely different except for its shape and size.
The Demon-Transforming Pill refined by Lu Fan is pitch black in color.
And the skin is extremely rough.
It is completely different from the description of the Demon-Transforming Pill in the Wandu Ceremony.
"Could it be that I am practicing it wrong?"
Lu Fan became depressed.
Holding the pill in his hand, Lu Fan looked left and right, feeling conflicted.
"What should I do?"
"If I really made a mistake in refining this medicine, this pill will definitely be unusable and can only be thrown away!"
"But, if we just throw it away like this, wouldn't that be such a waste?"
Lu Fan was really reluctant to leave.
After all, after working so hard to use so many poisons and medicinal herbs, and spending so much spiritual energy, only to throw them away, no one would be willing to accept this!
"Never mind! I have to find someone to try it out first! What if the description in the Wandu Codex is wrong? Who knows!"
After thinking this, Lu Fan put the Demon-Transforming Pill he had made into his pocket and walked out of the City God Temple.
He planned to find someone to try out his first alchemy masterpiece.
Outside.
The refugees were all in the fields, busy working.
After looking around, Lu Fan finally set his sights on a random figure wearing a conical hat and carrying a big knife on his shoulder.
Dong Wu!
Hero Dong!
"Ha, got it! Hero Dong is a warrior anyway, so using him to test the medicine should work!"
After thinking this, Lu Fan immediately shouted at Dong Wu.
Hearing Lu Fan's cry, Dong Wu ran over carrying a tiger-head knife.
"Lu boy, what do you want from me?"
Lu Fan walked over with a smile and said, "Brother Dong, I want you to help me with something!"
"Uh? You want my help?" Dong Wu seemed very curious.
"Yes!" Lu Fan said.
Ha ha!
"Lu boy, have you finally realized that I, a hero, am not a useless person who just eats and lives here for free?" Dong Wu said proudly.
"Of course I do. Brother Dong has always held a very high position in my heart!"
Hey!
"You, kid Lu, are not blind! Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Dong Wu asked arrogantly.
Lu Fan smiled and took out the Demon-Transforming Pill he had just made from his pocket.
Seeing Lu Fan suddenly take out a black pill, Dong Wu was startled and asked, "Huh? What is this?"
